A Medical H&P - Example 2 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:01hello it's Eric from strong medicine
- 0:03this is another demonstration of an oral
- 0:06presentation of a medical h&p as with
- 0:09the previous one I'll be giving two
- 0:11demonstrations of the same case the
- 0:13first will be a relatively detailed
- 0:16so-called complete hmp that I would
- 0:19expect of a clerkship student on a
- 0:20service that was not unusually busy the
- 0:24second will be a much more concise
- 0:26version that I'd expect from a seasoned
- 0:28resident or from an intern or suby who
- 0:31was on an unusually busy team for which
- 0:34the presentation of a complete hmp was
- 0:37just not
- 0:44practical the primary source of
- 0:46information is the patient who appears
- 0:47reliable though the interview was
- 0:50deliberately kept brief due to her acute
- 0:52illness the chief complaint Miss White
- 0:55is a 38-year-old woman with no relevant
- 0:57past medical or social history who
- 1:00presented with dpia for several hours uh
- 1:03Miss White uh reported being in her
- 1:04usual state of health until 5 days ago
- 1:07at which time she was struck by a
- 1:08bicyclist while at work at a high school
- 1:11resulting in a scrape to her right
- 1:13lateral calf against a parking lot
- 1:16pavement it was cleaned and dressed at
- 1:19the time by the school nurse uh and then
- 1:223 days ago she had the onset of
- 1:24worsening pain and swelling in the right
- 1:26leg she saw an outpatient physician who
- 1:28diagnosed her with cellulitis
- 1:30and started sexin despite taking the
- 1:33antibiotic as prescribed one day ago she
- 1:35developed a subjective fever and chills
- 1:38and was generally just kind of feeling
- 1:40poorly then last night or maybe in the
- 1:43early hours of the morning her husband
- 1:46thought she appeared to be unwell so he
- 1:48woke her in order to check up on how she
- 1:50was doing at that point the patient
- 1:52reported she felt her breathing was
- 1:54difficult she was diaphoretic and had a
- 1:57measured temperature of 102 so so that
- 2:00prompted her to come to the ER she
- 2:03reported no pain in her left leg her
- 2:05abdomen chest or neck she reported no
- 2:08nausea vomiting changes in B habits or
- 2:11Li headedness her past medical history
- 2:14is only notable for childhood asthma
- 2:16which has been asymptomatic for many
- 2:18years surgical OBG and psychiatric
- 2:22histories were not explicitly discussed
- 2:25her only medication has been the
- 2:26aformentioned sexin four times a day she
- 2:30takes no over-the-counter meds or
- 2:33supplements um regarding her social
- 2:35history uh she lives in a condo in
- 2:38Cupertino with her husband uh and their
- 2:40four-year-old daughter both of their
- 2:42health is fine she works as a high
- 2:45school physics and chemistry teacher uh
- 2:47but she reports no recent chemical
- 2:49exposures at work uh from any kind of
- 2:51experiment or demonstration uh she has
- 2:54no pets at home or other animal
- 2:55exposures her only recent travel was to
- 2:58Los Angeles 2 months ago
- 3:00she drinks a couple of beers or glasses
- 3:02of wine on the weekend she is a
- 3:04non-smoker and she reports no history of
- 3:07Recreation on drug use family history
- 3:10and additional review of systems were
- 3:12not covered on physical exam obtained
- 3:16after 2 lers of IV fluids in the ER Miss
- 3:19White appeared fatigued and a bit unwell
- 3:22her temperature was 38.5 her pulse was
- 3:25118 blood pressure 85 over 62 resp we 26
- 3:30and O2 sat 92% on 4 liters via nasal
- 3:33canula she had moderate crackles
- 3:35throughout both lungs on cardiovascular
- 3:38exam she had a regular teoc cardia with
- 3:40normal S1 and S2 with no murmur or
- 3:42gallops her jvp was not visible with her
- 3:45at 30 degrees her radial DP and PT
- 3:48pulses were all diminished bilaterally
- 3:50Pocus revealed a collapsing non-dilated
- 3:53IBC and Hyper dnamic LV function abdomen
- 3:56was soft and non- tender her right leg
- 3:59had anra to the lateral calf that
- 4:02appeared clean and was out and was
- 4:04without necrotic tissue or drainage the
- 4:06right leg was diffusely warm and tender
- 4:08with pitting edema extending to just
- 4:09above the right knee but neither
- 4:12crepitus nor tenderness extending beyond
- 4:14the edema was present there was no pain
- 4:17on passive range of motion testing at
- 4:19either the right knee or the right ankle
- 4:22she has no palpable lymph nodes in the
- 4:23head neck axillary or ininal regions her
- 4:26no exam was unremarkable though gate was
- 4:28deferred due to to her hypotension and
- 4:31acute illness uh moving to tests her
- 4:34white blood cell count was 14,000 with h
- 4:37glin of 12 uh and platelets of
- 4:40135 chemistry panel was most notable for
- 4:44a bu of 22 C of 1.9 and an anine gap of
- 4:4819 her lactate was 4.2 uh and troponin
- 4:51was normal Hest x-ray was a reasonable
- 4:54quality portable film with moderate
- 4:56diffuse bilateral pulmonary edema she
- 4:59know if fusions and she had a normal
- 5:01cardiac silhouette ECG showed sinus of
- 5:04cardia at 118 beats per minute uh with a
- 5:07normal axis normal intervals and no stt
- 5:11changes in summary Miss White is a
- 5:1338-year old woman with no notable past
- 5:15history who presented with acute dnia
- 5:18and fever in the setting of a recent
- 5:19diagnosis of right- leg cellulitis
- 5:22secondary to trauma the exam was most
- 5:24notable for fever blood pressure of 85
- 5:26over 62 despite 2 lers of fluid an O2
- 5:30set of 92% on 4 lers bilateral crackles
- 5:34right- leg cellulitis without signs of
- 5:36necrotizing fasciitis or compartment
- 5:38syndrome intact mental status and Pocus
- 5:41with a with a non-dilated and collapsing
- 5:44IBC and Hyper dnamic
- 5:47LV other data includes
- 5:54lucyisanerd shock
- 5:59secondary to cellulitis this white has
- 6:02sepsis as demonstrated by the classic
- 6:04Vital sign abnormalities and an overt
- 6:06source of infection classifying it as
- 6:09septic shock albeit relatively mild is
- 6:12based on the persistance of hypotension
- 6:14despite IV fluids and her elevated
- 6:17lactate the most likely scenario is that
- 6:19her solitis was secondary to a
- 6:21particularly virulent organism and or
- 6:23One resistant to sexin such as MRSA
- 6:27which then led to
- 6:28bacteremia one consideration is whether
- 6:30she has necrotizing fasciitis or other
- 6:32necrotizing soft tissue infection
- 6:34although she does have serious systemic
- 6:36illness the lack of crepitus or pain out
- 6:39of proportion to the exam argues a
- 6:41little against this uh her uh linic
- 6:44score a clinical prediction rule for
- 6:45necrotizing fasciitis can't can't be
- 6:48calculated yet without a CRP level but
- 6:50the remainder of the scores factors are
- 6:52consistent with relatively low risk
- 6:55though this score has a suboptimal
- 6:57negative predictive value the diagnostic
- 7:00plan for her shock and cellulitis
- 7:02includes following up blood and urine
- 7:04cultures which are already
- 7:06drawn given the lack of known
- 7:09subcutaneous fluid collections necrotic
- 7:12tissue or soft tissue crepitus there is
- 7:14no obvious specific indication for
- 7:16Source control via percutaneous or
- 7:18surgical intervention and likewise a
- 7:21wound culture at this time will likely
- 7:23not be diagnostically helpful however
- 7:26given the low but non-trivial
- 7:27possibility of necrotizing f aitis which
- 7:30is an acutely life-threatening diagnosis
- 7:33we will still consult general surgery
- 7:36and obtain a CT scan of the right leg
- 7:39we've also ordered a CRP to formally
- 7:41calculate the lenic score and a CK CK
- 7:45level to evaluate the possibility of
- 7:48pyomyositis therapeutically I would
- 7:50normally aggressively push more fluids
- 7:52using mean arterial pressure decreasing
- 7:55lactate and urine output as surrogates
- 7:57for adequate adequate itation however in
- 8:01this case I'm I'm hesitant to do uh to
- 8:03do this to be more aggressive given her
- 8:05pulmonary edema so instead we'll plan to
- 8:08bolish another 500 cc's of LR now and if
- 8:11that's insufficient we'll start Norine
- 8:13nephrine for antibiotic coverage I'll
- 8:16treat broadly for now with bomy and
- 8:18sapim while blood cultures are pending
- 8:21and will narrow as able for pain control
- 8:24we will use standing Tylenol and PRN
- 8:26oxycodone and IV morphine
- 8:29problem number two is her hypoxemia uh
- 8:32given the combination of her chest x-ray
- 8:34with hypodynamic LV function and
- 8:36evidence of low CVP this is most likely
- 8:40non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema
- 8:42secondary dypsis and represents neither
- 8:44pneumonia nor concurrent heart failure
- 8:47we will continue supplemental oxygen is
- 8:49necessary positive pressure ventilation
- 8:52is not currently
- 8:53indicated problem number three is
- 8:56presumed Aki presumed because we don't
- 8:59actually have a baseline katne for
- 9:01comparison however in a previously
- 9:03healthy 38-year-old it's highly likely
- 9:06to have been normal the Aki is either
- 9:09from Pure dehydration or from ATN
- 9:12secondary topsis will send off a UA and
- 9:15Fina to help distinguish between these
- 9:16two
- 9:17possibilities though doing so won't
- 9:19necessarily change acute management it
- 9:21will provide a very general idea of the
- 9:24expected timing of renal
- 9:26recovery lastly code status and goals of
- 9:29care were not discussed with her but we
- 9:32will do so at the next opportunity until
- 9:35then she will be full code given the
- 9:37severity of her illness speculation
- 9:39regarding her anticipated discharge plan
- 9:41would be
- 9:51premature Miss White is a 38-year-old
- 9:54woman with no relevant past medical or
- 9:55social history who presented with dnia
- 9:58for several hours
- 9:59she reported being in her usual state of
- 10:01health until 5 days ago at which time
- 10:03she was struck by a bicyclist that while
- 10:05work resulting in a scrape to a right
- 10:07lateral calf against a parking lot
- 10:09pavement it was cleaned and dressed at
- 10:12the time 3 days ago she had the onset of
- 10:14worsening pain and swelling in the right
- 10:16leg an outpatient clinician diagnosed
- 10:18her with cellulitis and prescribed
- 10:21sexin despite the antibiotic she went on
- 10:23to develop subjective fevers and chills
- 10:26then in the early hours of this morning
- 10:28she noted dnia diaphoresis and had a
- 10:32temperature measured at 102 prompting
- 10:34her to come to the ER she reported no
- 10:37pain other than in her right leg also
- 10:39know nausea vomiting changes in Bow
- 10:41habits neck stiffness or
- 10:44lightheadedness her only medication has
- 10:46been the aformentioned
- 10:47sexin regarding her social history she
- 10:50lives in a condo in Cupertino with her
- 10:52husband and four-year-old daughter both
- 10:55of their health is fine she reports no
- 10:58occupational animal or travel related
- 11:01exposures she reports modest alcohol
- 11:03intake but no smoking or recreational
- 11:05drug use on exam obtained after 2 lers
- 11:09of fluids M white appeared fatigued and
- 11:12unwell her temp was 38.5 pulse 118 blood
- 11:16pressure 85 over 62 respiratory rate 26
- 11:20and O2 sat was 92% on 4 lers she had
- 11:24moderate bilateral crackles but no
- 11:26murmurs or gallops Pocus revealed a
- 11:28collapse ing non-dilated IBC and a
- 11:31hypodynamic LV abdomen was soft and non-
- 11:34tender her right leg had an abration to
- 11:36the lateral calf that appeared clean and
- 11:38was without necrotic tissue or drainage
- 11:41the right leg was diffusely warm and
- 11:42tender with pitting edema extending to
- 11:44just above the right knee but neither
- 11:46crepitus nor tenderness extending beyond
- 11:49the edema was present there was no pain
- 11:51on passive range of motion testing of
- 11:53the right knee or ankle she has no
- 11:55palpable nodes her neur exam was
- 11:57unremarkable though gate was deferred on
- 12:01tests her white blood cell count was 14
- 12:04with a hemoglobin of 12 chemistry is
- 12:06most notable for a cranon of 1.9 and a
- 12:08lactate of 4.2 a chest x-ray showed
- 12:12moderate diffuse pulmonary edema ECG
- 12:14showed sinus attack and was otherwise
- 12:17normal so in summary Miss White is a
- 12:2038-year-old previously healthy woman now
- 12:22with acute dnia and fever in the setting
- 12:25of a recent diagnosis of right leg
- 12:27cellulitis secondary trauma the exam is
- 12:30most notable for fever hypotension
- 12:33despite 2 lers of fluid an O2 sat of 92%
- 12:36on four lers red leg cellulitis without
- 12:39signs of necrotizing fasciitis or
- 12:41compartment syndrome and Pocus with a
- 12:44non-dilated and collapsing IBC and hyp
- 12:47dnamic
- 12:48LV other data includes
- 12:58lucyisanerd problem number one septic
- 13:00shock secondary to cellulitis an
- 13:02important consideration is whether she
- 13:04also has necrotizing
- 13:06fasciitis though she has serious
- 13:08systemic illness the lack of crepitus or
- 13:11pain out of proportion to the exam
- 13:13argues a little against this her lenic
- 13:16score can't be calculated yet without a
- 13:18CRP level but the remainder of the
- 13:20scores factors are consistent with
- 13:22relatively low risk however given the
- 13:25low but non-trivial possibility of neck
- 13:28fash we will still consult general
- 13:30surgery and obtain a CT of the right leg
- 13:33CRP and CK are also pending
- 13:36therapeutically we'll plan to bolus
- 13:38another 500 cc's of LR and if that's
- 13:41insufficient we'll start norepinephrine
- 13:44for antibiotic coverage Vin seapine for
- 13:46now for pain control we will use
- 13:48standing Tylenol and PRN oxy and IV
- 13:52morphine problem two is our hypoxemia
- 13:55secondary dypsis triggered
- 13:57non-cardiogenic pulmonary edem
- 13:59will continue supplemental O2 as
- 14:02necessary problem number three is a
- 14:04presumed Aki secondary to either pure
- 14:07dehydration or from ATN will send off a
- 14:10UA and Fina to help distinguish between
- 14:12these two lastly code status and goals
- 14:14of care were not discussed with her but
- 14:17we will do so at the next opportunity
